    Thank you. I can't stand his humor. Cringe on top of cringe with a side of cringe with nothing to balance out the cringe. Just not my cup of tea.

    He's the guy that can be brilliantly funny about 1% of the time, but that 1% is completely canceled-out by the 99% of other material, which is him just randomly throwing shit at the wall. He's truly awful and I dread seeing him.

    Oh yes, he is a very wicked bad actor for the greater good of bad!

    I honestly don’t enjoy his sense of humor, he is not too awful in serious roles but still don’t go out of my way to watch. I could say the same for Seth Rogen, his laugh just annoys me to no end.

    I get this. I was listening to a podcast, Conan O'Brien's I think, where Will Ferrell came up and they were talking about how he's typically a pretty straightforward and serious kind of person off camera.

    He turns it on for the camera but it's not who he is in real life. There's nothing wrong with it per se but it made him seem a lot more disingenuous to me.

    I think a lot of comedians are this way, and it makes sense. Most of us have a "work persona" that is not exactly the same as what we would consider our "real" personality.

    For a more genuine version Will Ferrell, and just a hell of a story of friendship and overcoming challenges, I heartily recommend the documentary Will & Harper.
